Match of Sherwin Williams™ 42104 *

Confirm Sherwin Williams 42104 from a physical swatch or another known existing color reference from the original brand, not from a screen alone. MyPerfectColor makes a custom match to the selected brand color reference, so the first step is making sure 42104 is the exact target you want.

If you are matching an existing painted item, keep in mind that age, sheen, and surface differences can change how the color appears even when the code is correct.

For Sherwin Williams 42104, start by cleaning the surface, removing grease or soil, and masking off areas you do not want coated. Light scuffing is often helpful when the surface is smooth and appropriate for it, and a test application on the actual material is a good way to check adhesion and appearance before doing the full project.

Good prep matters because the code itself does not control how the coating bonds to metal, plastic, wood, or a previously painted surface.

Yes. A match of Sherwin Williams 42104 can be ordered as MyPerfectColor custom spray paint for projects like baskets, frames, shelving, decor pieces, hardware, and other small parts where spray application is practical.

This is useful when you want a removable or separate item to coordinate with a known color reference. Make sure the item is cleaned and prepped for the material before spraying.
